The Lightning (Bolt) item appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and comes from Mario Kart, another Nintendo franchise. This item acts as it would in the Mario Kart franchise, shrinking your opponents once it is grabbed. It can be tricky at times where it will turn around and end up shrinking only you instead of your opponents and leaving you wide open for attacks (it may also enlarge your opponents). But if it works properly all your opponents will shrink and feel an effect similar to the Poison Mushroom. It can sometimes attack everyone, friend or foe.
